20. Describe an English lesson you have taken.
Well, I would like to share with you about a really pleasant experience in an English class I had at my university.During one of our grammar lessons, the regular teacher was sick so the school had to send in a teacher to cover her place. And the substitute teacher, Thomas Hall, delivered an amazing lecture in English about how he thinks we should all learn languages through watching films.Throughout the two hours, he explained to us the process of learning a language and how films can serve as an effective way to immerse yourself in a language. Basic elements like vocabulary and grammar can be easily absorbed if we focuson dialog in a TV show, and so in the long run, our overall language skills can be improved. This method helps us to learn any language effortlessly and in a short period of time.At first, we were all sceptical about the ideas he introduced, however, after watching a short video to practice and doing a trial test, we were all convinced that learning by watching movies was not hard at all and we could apply this to enhance our performance at school.I enjoyed this lesson so much because I find this method to be particularly effective for me. I always felt unmotivated when learning by traditional methods and my results were never desirable. But when I tried learning English using my favourite movies, you know what? My English got better and better and very soon I was able to remember thousands of new words and write really complicated essays. Now, I can even proudly say that I have mastered the English language.
21. Describe a place you visited on your own?
I like to visit different places whenever I get an opportunity. So thank you for this interesting cue card topic since it will allow me to talk about a rather exciting place which I visited about a couple of years ago.The place, I visited, was a border town, sitting conveniently on the northeastern part of my country. The city is divided by a beautiful river and the other side of it falls into our neighbouring country. But, the interesting thing is that, for a person, who visits that place for the first time, he or she would never know that this is actually a bordering town since people from both sides of the river frequently can be seen visiting their neighbours in their parts of the city.After seeing this, a couple of my friends, visiting with me, jokingly commented that the people of that bordering city were having an amusing time since they could literally eat their main dishes in our part of the city while enjoying desserts on the other side of the river.Needless to say, I also agreed with my friends, and I happened to like their idea so much that, after eating our lunch, we also decided to visit the other side of the town and have our desserts. By the way, as we were visiting the other part of the city in a steamer, I noticed that live music was being played in many of the steamers, crossing the river, by some young musical talents. However, the most memorable thing about this visit was that the people of both parts of the city treated each other as their own neighbours.Well, I liked visiting this place, mainly because it allowed me to see some of the most friendly and cordial relationships between the people of two countries. I liked visiting this place also because the river there, and the beautifully built houses in rows on its banks, was one the spectacular view I have ever seen.
